Skin rash around genital area Posted: 01-15-08 11:29am
The itch started abt 2 weeks ago from the
anus area. Then it spread all over my
genital area which is now quite swollen
and itchy because it developed into a
rash.
I have been using a cream called,
"Vagisil" for fast relief of feminine
itching for around 4-5 days already. It
seems to maintain my current condition but
it is not getting any better.
I have been using a feminine wash for
around 1 and a half years now so I doubt
the problem arose due to irritation.
Is there any possibility that it might be
an yeast infection or ( hopefully not)
something worse?
p.s. I have a poor urinary tract. ( Just
got a jab and antibiotics 4 months ago
because of an infection that set in and
caused me to have a very high fever and
kept throwing up.)
Also the rash started when I took some
medicine my dad bought from the drug store
cause I had a very swollen throat.

A rash? Vagisil is not meant to treat a
rash. You could have a yeast infection,
that causes itching, but not usually a
rash that starts in the anus and spreads,
that sounds more like an std or something
else. Yeast infections usually present
with itching and discharge that is like
cottage cheese, as well as irritation in
the vagina and pain during sex.
Why are you using a feminine wash? It's
completely unnecessary and may cause more
harm than good.
You need to see a doctor if it's
spreading. Have you had unprotected sex?
IF so, sounds like an std. Get yourself to
the doc.
